P: Support for Live Photos

This is a significant gap that is problematic for iPhone users. Adobe, please add configuration to support displaying live photos as a single item or stack and a means to filter and sort by live photos. Please also allow the live photo to be viewed as a live photo within loupe. Thanks.

96% of my photos are iphotos. I don't like Apple's photo app.

I want a photo manager but until some 3rd party application supports live photos properly I won't switch.

It's 2024. Just support it.

This is the only feature keeping me from using Lightroom.  I'll renew my subscription to Lightroom and use it again once it supports Live Photos.   Until then it basically loses half of my data so it's a deal breaker. 

Hey Adobe, it's almost 2024 and Lightroom still doesn't support live photos. As I'm amassing live photos which contain valuable videos I'm considering switching to Google Photos. PLEASE CONSIDER IMPLEMENTING THIS!!

This one must have been requested a million times, but I can't see it.  It would be lovely if we could import Live photos from iOS directly in LR mobile.  Bringing in the HEIC and the MOV and then stacking can't be that difficult to achieve, surely?  Is there a reason why this obvious feature has been neglected since the dawn of time?

Here is a better link for Lr Classic users who are coming here from search engines. There is a workaround using Lightroom Classic: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/google-live-photo-how-to-edit-the-photo/m-p/13509895S

I personally use Classic to make a catalog that I upload to Lr Cloud.  So I have set Lightroom to treat the JPEG and MP4 files separatley, using the setting in the linked thread. They upload to Lr Cloud as 2 separate files, which is fine honestly. I usually only want the JPEG, for albums and slideshows. so it's easy to leave the MP4's out and in a folder just for archival. 

Really hope they impliment this feature soon.

I feel tricked as I read that Lightroom supports Live Photos from iPhone.

@Victor25272427m2ab Sorry to hear that. Was that somewhere on Adobe's site, or just a random source? I've never seen that in any official documentation, however if it is, then of course it needs to be updated.

Let me ask you what they chose instead? I've just committed to Lightroom but this was one of the promises that I now feel have been broken. This thread is the top search hit on Google so I'm sure this will spread for iPhone users that it's not working well at all. I'm definitely moving out to something better if I can find it. I enjoy the editing options but this is a real issue that really should be solved asap.

This! I feel tricked as I read that Lightroom supports Live Photos from iPhone. Of course I want to use my iPhone to automatically upload my photos to the Lightroom cloud. I can't even find an explanation to how I'm supposed to get Live Photos to work with Lightroom at all. Do I have to stop the automatic upload of images from my phone and remove them and then upload from computer or something?
